SDD, from a report into the Uberlingen mid-air:
Such was the case in this mid-air collision. The TCAS worked as designed. But, as in most accidents, a range of insidious policy, training and procedural issues are involved. This accident was no exception. It was one where other breakdowns overwhelmed the last ditch defense that TCAS was intended to provide.
